Expanded Twins Rail Hub Project Expected To Be Approved Today

The Hennepin County (Minn.) Board today is expected to approve “a sweeping plan to add a park, jumbo display screen, retail stores and a public plaza” to the $79.3M rail hub being built near Target Field. Twins President Dave St. Peter said that the new hub, to be "called Target Field Station, will be Minnesota’s version of New York City’s Grand Central Station when it opens next year." The team and United Properties will pay $3.7M to the county (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 9/12).
